[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1157525, member: 82144"] Great. :) I very much doubt it, but I don't know for sure. In the past that config file has been prone to corruption which has caused MP and/or configuration to fail to open and/or crash. That's why I suggested deleting it. I fiddled with the settings on my own machine and I can set -25 dB without any problem. If you set the value back to -25 dB does config start to crash again? First, let me declare that I've never mucked around with these settings before, and I don't use MediaPortal for music. However, in a past life I have done a little bit of audio engineering. On that basis I wouldn't have thought the compressor would help much (if at all) unless the music was peaking over 0 dB, which seems unlikely for properly mastered commercially produced music. Popular/radio music is already highly compressed these days. Applying negative dynamic amplification seems more likely to be helpful. Pass. No idea. I would have thought TV levels would have been comparable. Are you playing/comparing 5.1 channel TV content played through a stereo speaker system without down-mixing to native stereo (2 channel) music? If so, that would explain the gain difference... and the solution would be to down-mix the TV content, not mess with the music gain. You're welcome. :) In case there's a next time, it would probably help to have mentioned you had been tweaking the DSP settings. Problems don't start without reason. Usually it's a new element or a change in an existing element that triggers the problem to start. Anyhow, all's well that ends well. [/QUOTE]
